Hello
I'm a owner off a 1 year old Sony Experia Arc LT15i
I spend a whole week learning and reading about unlocking the bootloader, rooting and flashing custom rom's. I finally succeeded without any problems wat so ever.
I'm using:
- ArcKnight kernel 3.5.1
- Jelly Sandwich 4.0.1
Now my question:
When i had the stock firmware GB 2.3.4 i had emoticons in my sms app. Smilly's, hearts, shapes, ect. With the new custom rom i lost the ability to see these emoticons in my text based messages.
- How can i get back to the stock message app without going back to the stock firmware?
- How can i install themes that change the collours in the sms app and icons and background of the menu's?
thx in advance
Welcome to XDA, i suggest you check in the themes section. Btw you're title is kinda of misleading....
Read the tuts in the forum, and learn whatever you can about modding and such and you'll see that the best ROM is the one made by you!
Ask your question in the Rom thread where you got jelly sandwich.

ok so i got my SGS few days ago and i installed this rom:
SGSIL_PLX_JPY_V3.0 FullHebrew
and when i try to download a theme from the forum my device stuck in the opening screen and do nothing until i restore him.
im tired of this how do i optimize the themes for my rom?
Many themes are not supported for all ROMs.... and I wonder what ROM that is you are using, never heard of it ....
Ask on the thread if it supports your ROM before you flash a new theme
Peace
get either doc's or darky's rom. most of the themes work with their roms.
i from israel and its more comfortable for me to use hebrew ROM cause its my language and all my contacts and all those things...its still a JPY ROM and im sure that there is a way to optimize themes for this specific ROM
Hello All;
I want to add some modofications to my official Android 2.3.3 (ODEX) version, these modifications include:
1-crt screen off animation
2-battery with %
3-extended power menu /reboot,recovery,download mode
4-the 5 lockscreens
Kindly help me with an easy way to have them installed in my SGS1 2.3.3
Thanks
Most mods only work on deodexed roms. Is there a reason why you must use odexed? If it's about voding your warranty, any of the things you are attempting to do above will also void your warranty.
OK, if I want to use a Deodexed version, will it be stable?? will it affect the performance of the device??
Is there any link for a Deodexed Android 2.3.3 that is stable and without any problems.
What kernel do you advice as I'm still new to Android OS
thanks and regards
You can use jkays theme with odexed, look for thread, you get different themes and power options available via a free app.

Hi everyone, I am using the deodexed stock rom JV5 2.3.3 for my Galaxy S1, I got a question on theme flashing.
Besides the theme for rom 2.3.3, can I also install others such as 2.3.4 JVQ JVT or the previous versions?
And, I am using the SPB shell 3D, will this or other launchers crash the themes I gonna install? If yes, can I resolve this by changing back to the default launcher?
Lastly, I always do a backup in CWM recovery, but does it secure the errors in framework-res too? If not, what should I do further?
Last but not least, forgive my bad in english and thank you very much for your help!!!!

If it is aosp based rom... U get heaps of themes on Google play... If u r running sense based rom. Then check apps and theme section.... Every rom got their individual theme support..
For asop based rom.. Install the theme app like usual apps from Google play store.. U gta install it via theme engine..
For sense based... They have ota support like viper x rom or install it via recovery..

And if you decide to flash a theme, make a nandroid backup before. When it does not work somehow you can easily restore !
One thing: If you are still on Stock ROM, most of the themes here will not work because Stock is odexed and the themes are made for deodexed CustomROMs.
The Apps you downloaded from PlayStore will download automatically again when you flash a CustomROM and tick "save my device with google" (dont know exactly what this point is called when setting the device up, because here it´s called "Gerät über Google sichern" )
The same for contacts/calendar, if you sync them via google, they will be synced with the new ROM too.
LG, Helmut
I'm no pro at this but I can imagine how clueless you feel right now
If you want to install new themes then you have a few options, you can continue to use the stock rom that you are on right now and look for some themes that will work with Sense; the playstore is the best place to get these themes to use in conjunction with the launchers, for example Go Launcher, Nova Launcher etc.
Your other option, which is more fun, is to install AOSP roms and then you will be able to install a lot of smexy custom *themes
Hi, I have a rooted xperia arc s (ics 4.0.4 [4.1.B.0.587]) i rooted it using the following guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219711
and my bootloader is locked. so my question is that can I flash custom roms without unlocking unlocking my bootloader, and if I can then how? or if I can't then how can i solve the problem?
please make your answer noob-friendly.
thank you in advance
I think you can install rom specifically made okay with locked bootloader try see development threads
you can't install custom kernel with locked bootloader through afaik

You can install Stock based ROMs such as Ultimate HD (most famous ICS custom ROM) or any other Ice Cream Sandwich based ROM. This means you can't install Jelly Bean, but look on the dev forums for [ICS] or [.587], there are a lot that even do have the jellybean statusbar and stuff like that. :3
